BUCKS and WETHERS
Our Boys
Bucks are intact male goats, capable of breeding. Wethers are bucklings who were castrated as kids.
Our six wethers are big, sweet, boys who can be shorn for fiber as well as providing companionship for the bucks.
Our two handsome bucks are permanently registered with the Pygora Breeders Association. Their fleece types, shown below, are explained in detail on the Pygora Goats page. Since urinating on themselves is one way a buck attracts the does, their fiber may be shorn for their comfort, but it is discarded.
